This extracurricular activity that has been especially designed for parents to learn Spanish and gain vocabulary while helping their kids to acquire cooking skills and foster the use of Spanish as a team. The classroom will be lead, fully in Spanish, by Marianela Santamaría Ramírez, an educator from Barcelona, Spain, that has a broad experience in teaching foreign languages while transmitting a culture in an immersion set up. Nela, that’s how she likes to be called, will be presenting the participants with easy to follow-yummy recipes inspired in the “latin-cuisine”.

“Cocinando en Tribu” is not a Spanish nor a cooking class, it is a space where to learn a new recipe each time while practicing conversation, following instructions and gaining vocabulary in Spanish (with an Spaniard accent!). Each adult plays the teachers role to their own children with regard to cooking techniques, those being appropriate for the age as: beating, cutting, peeling, chopping, grating, mixing, spreading, etc. The class is guided by a teacher who gives instruction only in Spanish modeling each step of the recipe.

Duration and format: 45 minutes. Capacity for 10 couples (parent / grandparent / friend / nanny or guardian with a child). Participants will find all the materials needed beginning the class and will contribute with the cleaning of utensils upon completion. Everyone takes home what they prepared and also tastes in class.
